Default How to get abs

Hey Brad:

I never had a trainer but I read alot about how body builders work out and
what they eat.
great news on your six pack Brad - is this a new life style for you or have
you always been healthy.
I also believe VCR takes are fantastic - years ago I used a Tony Little tape
it was pretty good. I strongly recommend vicar tapes for anyone who never
heard
from a professional about working out... they are great.

Sure, a trainer is ideal. Look up at the ceiling while crunching -
don't pull with your neck. I've been doing abs (9 exercises to
failure) for 3 months now - I'm gradually improving. If I tense my abs
I can see a "six pack" - but not when I'm relaxed. You're right, books
won't make abs - you must do the work. You might also get a vcr tape
on abs - a friend has that and likes it.

Hey Brad:

Hey Brad you must have some set of abs. books like you mentioned are
really good for people who never really learned what professionals have

to
say
but only learned from friends. that goes for all muscles not just the

abs -
also
books on nutrition for weight lifters also helps. I have been working

out
for little over
a week and let me tell you. I FEEL GREAT. im taking it nice and easy.

I
come close
to doing my crunches to failure but to be honest I am still at the point
that I will cramp
up before I reach failure. last night I did about 70 crunches with

25lbs
before I went to bed.
im telling you people - the right diet will make you feel fantastic -

diet
and exercise - well lol fantasticer

Hi - I bought "the complete book of abs" - pretty good. Probably 100
different ab exercises. - One good point in book - keep varying
exercises so you face new challenges. Another: focus on your abs while
doing situps - go for burn. Personally I do 9 diff ab exercises to
failure - while trying to focus on abs.

I do weighted crunches and weighted situps. I simply hold two

35
lbs
dumbbells behind my shoulders as I do them, and my feet are

held by
a
barbell.

first off let me say i am impressed with you doing situps with
70lbs. i hope you dont mind a suggestion. holding the

dumbbells
behind your shoulder limit the amount of movment going down in

sit
ups.

It is a good suggestion, I agree. I hold dumbbells so that they

don't
interfere with my head reaching the floor.

situps. A navy seal training book scared me a little about
overdoing situps. They say doing too many can cause lower back

pain.

I remember when I used to do crunches on the floor after a while
my neck would begin to hurt from holding up my head. after the
needed muscles strengthened - I had no more neck pain.
I think that is the same with the lower back muscles.

if you have that type of will power to do sit ups with 70lbs
I would love to see your reaction to doing them on a decline sit up

bench.
for the past week I been doing pretty good... taking things slow - I

already
feel so much better
and really hope this time I stick with it. what other exercises do

you
do?
